Two left without ever paying their own way. This means they stayed 3 weeks or less. Level 2A scholarship is available for women who are in need of identification (ssn, birth certificate, driver's license) in order to begin work. There were no level 2A requests made in 2021. Level 2B is available to assist clients, who meet certain criteria, with vehicle registration, down payment, vehicle insurance, dental work, and catching up on rent (if falling behind was due to an illness or some other non-avoidable reason. There were no level 2B scholarships given in 2021. Level III scholarships are to assist clients meeting designated criteria with deposits, first month rent, etc. when they are ready to leave EDANB.

Began developing this program in 2019 to have up and running in 2020. Assistance from Crossroads was cancelled as a result of Covid 19. Training has been continued through the IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program). Currently we are searching the internet for credible options. Grants: To secure grants to improve lives of clients and the organization. In 2021 no grants were written. We no longer have a contract with a grant writer/researcher.

“The fundraising event and the raffle held in conjunction with it are the organizations 2 special events. All proceeds fund the scholarship program, without which EDANB would not be able to assist clients at any scholarship level. It is not reported on form 990-T because these events are not regularly carried on and all facets are carried out by volunteers who receive nothing in return. Beginning with 2021, only on-line and letter campaigns are the only source of outside solicited funding. Only monetary donations are received through these platforms.”
